Yeah there are a few different setups I liked to use against incoming opponents.
Call beam assist, fully charged tk L mighty strike under an incoming opponent is super ambiguous and almost entirely safe because of the armor. You’re also + on block so you can run mixups from there.
I played a few matches the other day (been a while) and I gotta say, most of my ground game now revolves around how scary Mighty Punish has become. People do a lot of stupid predictable stuff when they’re scared.
Also, I posted this in the old thread, but I guess everyone migrated here. I’m not sure many people saw it:

I have a few more combo ideas I’ve been considering. I think that I can get Thor over 1.2 million with 1 bar. I’ll keep you posted.
Dang thats pretty high damage for one bar, and that combo probably builds 2 or just under 2 bars I am assuming. I can get 1 mill (although getting 970k is SO much easier) with 2 bars (combo builds one) with thornado falls using wekser otg(it works midscreen now). About incomming characters, does your setup work in the corner? As far as corner setups I go into flight dash into the corner above my opponent and full charge down strike. If timed correctly its a 50/50 . You just need to kill with a move that gives you enough time to get into position(IE not a super).
And mightly punish is extra awesome if you have a character that can combo after it from a dhc, I think with wesker you get just under 900k from one mighty punish.
Finally had my first matches online in a session of 60 matches. WOW Thor is most improved character of the game. I can’t believe how much better he is. The mighty strike buff I felt a lot, I was rarely knocked out of it, and I was able to apply pressure and break through defenses with it. Next biggest buff I felt was the command grab range buff along with his super grab range buff. Wow I can’t believe how much range he has now on those moves that I can just pick people off the floor with so much ease. Mighty Punish having full invincibility is amazing, I can just throw out that move whenever I see it possible and without a doubt I’ll catch them, and from greater range. Finally I saw the use of air xfc for mighty tornado. I wasn’t even afraid for once putting pressure on dante and wesker, and even occasionally dark wesker. I was even able to make a comeback with thor alone on 15% health in asgard.
Fellow Thor users, how about we make a session of mirror matches tonight? maybe opening a lobby for Thor users-only. I think we can learn tricks from each other and level up our Thors this way. I play on xbox live, what do you guys think.
I Also have a older video that shows a corner relaunch combo

And another kind of loop double relaunch combo with Thor

Nice combos, Ive been trying for awhile to find a variation of stuff like that, that deals more damage then the standard combo but haven’t found anything. Still Im glad someone found something cool, definitley some swag combos at the very least, I’ll have to try those out just to style.
[LIST]
[]Doom? Plasma Beam and Missiles work wonders with Thor
[]Iron Man? Unibeam is great, but then you have to play Iron Man
[]Hawkeye? Grey Hound works well
[]She-Hulk? Mighty Punish OS into Taking out the Trash is super dirty.
[]Sentinel? I can see drones working well with him.
[]Doctor Strange? I hear Bolts work well with Thor. The fact they hit high actually helps his throw game a lot.
[]Hullk? Gamma Wave assist works well to extend Thor’s combos and isn’t terrible for holding the guy in place. DHC’ing into Gamma Quake after a whiffed Mighty Punish could be alright. He DHC’s well if you combo into an air Tornado unlike much of the cast.
[]Haggar? His assist could come in handy and you’d have a full team of burly men.
[/LIST]
Taskmaster - Arrows, DHC’s well, Monster xf3
Skrull - Dark Skrull is SCARY, tenderizer & stone smite extend combos where as orbital buster is gtfom
Cap - Shield slash is a pretty good assist, and stars and strips is a good shory, kinda rough DHC options, but functions well in front of Thor
Felicia - She’s good if you like that style and her low assist is pretty damn good.
Iron fist - I think he may have a pretty good synergy with Thor but haven’t tried it much.
Ryu/Akuma - tatsu, good dhc, beam super
